Hi All, As Set pointed out, we now have the latest version of Ardour ready to be tested for Backporting to Xenial and Trusty. We need to test that all of the binary packages install OK, and work. We also need to check all reverse dependencies, but as these are mostly "metapackages",it shouldn't be an issue.
Q: I want to help, so how do I test? A: Step 1 - You need a Trusty and/or Xenial LTS installation of Ubuntu Studio that you don't mind potentially breaking Step 2 - follow the instructions (https://launchpad.net/~ubuntustudio-dev/+archive/ubuntu/backport-testing) to add our Backport Testing ppa and do an apt-get update, then apt-get upgrade. Step 3 - Give the new version of Ardour a test run. If you are pretty new to Ardour, you could try running our Manual Test Procedure: http://packages.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/361/builds/117793/testcases/1672/results Step 4 - Add a comment to the backport bug and tell us whether it was Trusty/Xenial or both that you tested, which binary packages exactly, and how things went. https://bugs.launchpad.net/trusty-backports/+bug/1584930 Once we have enough evidence that it is working, we can ask someone from the backports team to recommend it's upload to the archive. If you have any problems, then sing out! Regards, Ross PS: We would like to backport our other priority packages. The process is not that hard with the great tools in Ubuntu, so checkout the following wiki and follow the links to help out with that as well: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/BackportsList -- ubuntu-studio-devel mailing list ubuntu-studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
